The book is very interesting and it made me chuckle! There are lot of slang words that I haven’t heard before but a lot that I’ve used too! Like “this ain’t my first rodeo” (I know!) and “tighter than bark on a log” (never heard of it!)

Hilarious!

Hahahaaaa!!! This cute little “instructional” guide to Texas slang is so cute, and made me feel right at home with all the “y’all’s” and “fixin’ to’s”. EXCELLENT narration, what a great “twangy” accent!
